Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:01:27 +0000http://ncaleague.wordpress.com/?p=1878#comment-21League rule 18: Ties for all places in the League shall be decided in favour of the team with the largest value of game points, only the first five boards of every match being counted. In the event of two or more teams finishing tied on both match points and game points and the division championship or qualification for promotion or relegation being in doubt, the League Conductor shall arrange play-offs as necessary.

So no. I’m bound by the league rules and it seems no-one in the past has ever felt strongly that head-to-head record should be taken into consideration.

I think most sports prefer playoffs to head-to-head record, provided it fits into the schedule (e.g. Premier League, Major League Baseball wildcard race). It tends to be when there isn’t time for a playoff (e.g. group stages of the World Cup) that head-to-head takes precedence.

N Tavoularis has drawn two games, not one.
You may not have noticed but G Murphy also has scored 5/6 in Div. 1

Honesty obliges me, albeit very belatedly, to point out re the division 2 leaderboard that one of my “wins” was in fact by default and should presumably not count in any calculations.
Cheers,
Steve
